To hate Sponge Bob Square Pants?

3yo Dd decided that she loved Sponge Bob after visiting Nickelodeon World at Alton Towers with her Grandparents.I caved in this morning and put an episode on. So far, someone has been called a moron and another character called a cretin. The way that the characters talk to each other is horrible.Who writes this stuff for kids?

I don't find it hilarious at all, I struggle to see why my two (older, the 9 year old likes it best) like it but they really really do. The plots are terrible, the humour weak, the characters unappealing, it's weird to me!

I'm afraid I don't get the humour although DH will point out that I don't have a sense of humour as I don't like things like Hot Fuzz and find the way that they treat each other horrible.Wish she'd get back into Rugrats. Now THAT is quality kids entertainment. Makes me laugh every time.

I love SpongeBob! My 15 yr old dd actually absorbed a lot of knowledge from it that she will often baffle people with. For example she's doing gothic literature in GCSE English and was the only student in the class who knew who Nosferatu (sp?) was, so don't knock it too much

Spongebob is both brilliantly immature and incredibly witty and inventive. Not sure what you mean by how they treat each other? It comes from that tradition of cartoon slapstick and Laurel and Hardyish banter, but Spongebob is wonderfully positive, he loves his job, will do anything for the Crusty Crab and for Patrick, Gary et al. Yes Squidward thinks he's above it all, Mr Crabs is the money-grabbing boss, and Plankton wants to destroy them all, but that's all done for laughs and I've been amazed by the quality of the writing - seriously. And if you think it's weird, just wait till you watch Adventuretime...

Can't stand it; my two boys love it.There is worse than Sponge Bob though. Something with a snake? Forgotten name but I made my furious 9 year old turn over as vile and certainly didn't want younger brother watching it.

Ahh thats it Basil, Sanjay and Craig. Just didn't like what I saw.To think my eldest watched Cbeebies for years while his younger brother watches stuff I would not have let eldest watch at his age because eldest tends to win tv battles. They both like Phineus and Ferb, Gravity Falls and Fairly odd parents as well as SpongeBob.
